Samsung Galaxy A30 receives Android 10 update in India

Firmware

It's not just the Galaxy A50s that is getting updated to Android 10 and One UI 2.0 today. Samsung has also released the update for the Galaxy A30 in India. The A30 update comes a month ahead of when it was supposed to arrive according to Samsung's roadmap, and this means we could see other A series phones and even the Galaxy Fold get Android 10 ahead of schedule as well.

The update is a 1.4GB download over the air and comes with software version A305FDDU4BTB3 and the February 2020 security patch. The update seems to be light on the more useful features that are supposed to arrive with Android 10 and One UI 2.0. A built-in screen recorder seems to be missing, though all the standard new functionality, such as a Dark mode that darkens the wallpaper as well, new navigation gestures, improved Digital Wellbeing, and enhanced facial recognition, are included.

Do let us know what features you're seeing on your Galaxy A30 once you have updated it to Android 10. To grab the update over the air, open the phone's Settings app, navigate to Software update, and tap Download and install. Alternatively, you can install Android 10 on your Galaxy A30 by flashing the latest firmware — which you can download from our firmware archive — on it using a Windows PC.
